Garden of Our Soul
lly BFATHICK FAIRFAX.
If you owned a garden plot of rich,
futile soil would you trust to chance
winds to boar seed to it? Or would you
deliberately tow It with tangling weeds,
or even dull and unfragrant flowers?
Never!" you cry, and again "Never!"
Hut you do own a garden plot of the
richest and most fertile soil Imaginable
a garden plot teeming with sustenance
for lovely flowers and wonderful foliage,
gracious in shadow and dappled with
sunlight. In your possession Is the finest
gardens for planting well chosen Seeds.
That garden Is your own soul.
t m not over romantic or rashly
I jdoalistlo when 1 tell you that of your
I n nnlurn vitll 111 Q V tr ft k e R. B CI HOI! K
garden. I am Just making a picture for
jou 01 a iaci.
Exactly In the way a wise gardener
cultivate his plot freeing It from weeds
and training to growth the flowers and
fruits he. loves, you may tend the garden
of your mind and soul. Whether you
cultivate or neglect your nature It still
must produce something. Why not direct
the procesa-and Intelligently direct It
to boot?
The very first thing to do Is to go
a-wecdlng. Root up useless unkind, eu
ivious, discontented, Impure and selfish
thoughts. They choke the ground in
which you might be cultivation wonder
ful bloom. They tangle their v. ay about
the flowers that try to grow up to sunshine-end
desti-oy them, L'p then the
weeds must come. They can't grow if
. . t,Am n imH inH sustenance.
UU III' l -
A jealous tliouglu can't think itself.
Ton have to nourish tho weedllke loea
tliat blows Into your mind, or it cannot
Mke root. Don't think wrong thoughts
just push them back into the void from
which they came. Hoot them out o your
Iftruni, ,
The wind of circumstance, win mow i
vou whero it Huts and buffet you about !
only so long as you think yourself into j
its power. It you let events blow weeds
into your garden and complain mmm
your Inability to grow flowers, of tours.;
. hove a. waste of weeds.
If you let clrcunwtances suggest trains I
i f thought and action to you, and never
try to direct your thinking and doing
Into useful channels, your lire must, do a
waste of weed, too. Isn't that logical?
livery seed of thought you allow to fall
tntn vnllr mind and to take root there
will produce its natural fruitage. From j
thistles, thistles come; from wheat,
wheat. It takes no expert in gardening;
to tell you that His fine thoughts ran
never produce mean, petty actions, j
Thoughts that arc mean and petty can
not produce actions that are line ana oig.
Everyone understands this In the world
of naturs. Kveryone works along the
line to this knowledge. The puxzle is how
ican (anyone tail to apply it to the
world of his own mentality as well?
Good thoughts bear good fruit. Tha
crop you harvest from evil thoughts can
not bo evil.
The proof of this lies in your own na,
ture. It is from his crop of one Jar
that the gardner learn wisdom, to cul
tivate wore wisely a better harvest of
fruits and flowers for tha next year.
Now if you will Just weed the evil out of
,i!iv mind and aet about cultivating one
sc:. of fine, Ideas and Ideals, you will be
astonished and delighted to observa tho
transformation this. will bring albout in
y .ur ljfe.
The way of it la this: Thought de
velops naturally Into action; action re
peated a few times grows to habit.
Habit molds circumstance.
Suppose yot: tegln to think work (what
ever it It) uncongenial. Vou do It half
heartedly. Presently you become a laiy
shirker. Aud you are all too likely to
grow into one of life's miserable failures.
Failure you need never have been if suc-

advancement to win mem some lime.
It your actual, physical garden is one
geranium in a pot or a farm of acres you
apply to it the best1 of caro sun-light,

Is your own nature any less important

everyone thought I
would not live.
Some one advised me to take Lydia E.
I'inkham's Vegetable Compound. I had
taken so much medicine and my doctor
said he could do me no good so I told my
husband he might get me a bottle and I
would try it. By the time I had taken
it 1 felt better. I continued its use, and
now I am well and strong.
"I have always recommended your
medicine ever since I was so wonder

CHAPTER II-Contlnued.)
The overcoat and cap wheeled slowly
In Marie's direction and shot forward a
frosty breath.
"Nope."
"But, comrade." And Henri jerked his
cap on the back of his head as he
wheeled at right angles.
'It Is Important. Look. Here Is money.
I take the swift little boat. 1 swish out
of the slip. I swish down the river. I
swish across the bay. Like lightning I
swish, and I overtake the yacht Hilarity.
I deliver the charming mald"- little
bow here "and a kiss from the finger
tips to the charming mademoiselle, and
immediately I swish back.' Nothing is
lost! All is safe!"
"(let off the dock," came the answer.
Hut. monsieur."
"Hike."
"I, Henri, detest you." was the angry
response. And he followed Marie off the
dock.
Up on the street sfood the VUlard tour
ing car, and as Marie and Henri climbed
In It a fat figure slunk out of the shadows
add hung on behind, gripping a thick
cigar butt between his teeth. I'p ami
down the docks ranged Henri and Marie,
but not one motorboat could they find.
Wherever they stopped the thick, tat
figure dropped off the car and slunk Into
the shadows.
Henri had another idea. lie drove to a
nearby saloon and procured a bottle of
whiskey, which he offered to the man on
the dock.
"Thanks." The voice was one degree
less frosty. The neck of the botUfi dis
appeared Into the slit of the overcoat
collar, and the gleaming buttle turned
heavenward,
"Voila." Henri himself took a lp and
stuffed the bottle In his pocket. "1 shall
go awav, my frend, but 1 shall return."
He hurried back to the touring car up on
the etrott and drove aay, and the thick
figure slinking out of the shadows hopied
on behind.
In the ivory taoestrlod stateroom, as the
Hilarity steamed slowly across the bay,
June Warner suddenly rose snd rang for
the stewardess. That puckered person
came with alacrity, but before she went
to June she stopped In the door of the
crimson and gold salon and, catching the
eye of Ortn Cunningham, bobbed her head
and smiled her ingratiating vmlie and
Jerked her thumb over her shoulder to
ward June s room; then ha turned her
palid eyes toward Gilbert HI ye for a
fleeting moment and hurried away.
' t'id you ring, dearie T" she whined as
June opened the door.
"Yea,' June studied the woman a mo
numt speculatively. Bhe could not confide
in this creature. "You may ruing me some
aater. please."
"Yes, deaiie." Tlie i,lewaidei whivled

with a hand on a shoulder of each. The
stewardess, with a sidelong glance at the
quiet Blye In the corner, hurried over to
the group on the bench.
"She wants some water." she whis
pered, bending over and grinning her
ugly grin.
"Oh, yes." Again the grin. "Young
ladles always trust me. Say, I think she
wants to escape."
Iilye, with a frown In his dark, hand
some face, walked across and spoke to
Cunningham. Orln nodded and, his eyes
twinkling, went to the portable buffet,
where he selected a long stemmed, grace
fully shaped, gold lncrusted goblet of
Venetian glass, He filled It with Ice and
set it to one side. Then, while the others
watched him, Tommy Thomaa with a
half sneer and Mrs. VUlard with shocked
concern, he took from a locked ease a
tiny stone bottle. Now he emptied the Ice
from the beautiful goblet and poured
into it a few blood red drops. Mrs. VU
lard 'half rose and looked toward nil-
be rt Blye; then, with a catch In her
breath, she sat down and was silent.
lilye went to the door as the stewardess
came up the gangway and called her in

Towards there had come a firm set, and
his heavy lidded eyes had narrowed.
Without a word Cunningham handed the
glass to the stewardess, hut between
the two there passed a look which was
full of meaning. Wye. with his glowing
eyes on the glass, smiled suavely.
"I brought you the water, dearie," said
the stewardess, entering June's state
room. "Oh!" An exclamation of delight from
June as her eyes widened with the beauty
of the delicate Venetian goblet

I once heard a person say, "I love my
friends so Intensely J am Jealous of any
ray of light that falls upon their- paths,
save through me" This I not friend
ship. It Is self-worship, soif aggrandise
ment self to the cote. Distrust any act
of kindness shown you by such a friend.
It Is done, not to give you happiness, but
to win your gratutude. The real friend
never think of gratitude, though be
would bo hurt by your Ingratitude. But
he would a soon bestow a favor unknown
to you, and he rejoli es to see you bene
fited by others, 'and takes ' pleasure In
anything which helps you no matter how
remote It may be from his own Interests.
Old friends endeared by yeajs of
memories are best. Yet I have no right
to reproach my old friend If he outgrows
me In his tasteea and habits, and-1 have
no right to call him changeable If he
flrvis new friends more congenial In these
things, snd who leep step with him. He
may have found me sufficient for him
when we both studied simple fraction
together, but if he has passed Into higher
mathematics I have no right to complain
I If he no longer enjoys singing the multl-
plication table to the air of "Yankee
Doodle" with me aa In our early school
.days. I had better blame myself for
j not making at least sufficient progress
I to appreciate him. even If I cannot enter
into full sympathy with his higher devel
opment, if I am worthy the name of
a . true "old friend," I will rejoice to seo
him speed on and up even If our paths of
necessity diverge.
j Not long ago I heard thinking woman
say that she could forgive the sin of
' commission In a friend far sooner than
! a sin of omission. "An unkind act or
word may spring from a hasty temper or
a mistake of Judgment, hut the frier
who sits still ami silent when I need a
defender or a mentor commits an un
pardonable sin." she said, and said
truly.
When I would prefer my friend to be
the first to pialse me for well doing, I
ran excuse lilin for being the last, If ho
la the first to warn me when I am doing
j wrong. Ho Is no friend If he gees m
drifting toward the rocks snd dors not
I tell me so; if he sees me preparing f
the battle with a flaw In my armor, and
j doee not point n out to me before the,
fray begins.
If he has not discovered it until we
are in the thick of battle, then the true
' and wise friend will keep silent, least th
, sudden consciousness of my weak point
should unnerve me; but lie will keep his
own eye upon It, and stand ready In
come to my assistance if the flaw proves
my full u re.
1 do not want my friend to feed and
clothe me, for that would enervate my
Mrength and roh m of ray solf-rollance.
I do not want him to carry my burdens
unless he sees my strength falling me.
I 1-rt him not perform my tasks for me.
but rather stimulate me to labor; lnsta4
of doing my work let him encourage In
me a belief of my own ability. !et him

y. "What Is the greatest degree of cold
known?"
A. The absolute gero of temperature,
absenoe of all heat energy, la 461 de
grees below the aero of Fahrenheit.
Liquid helium Is 454 below, liquid air 310,
and liquid hydrogen 41R. These degrees
of cold are beyond comprehension. And
many new properties of matter have been
discovered by subjecting various phases
elements to these low temperatures.
Thus. It Is a theory that chemically pur
metals would allow all of a current of
electricity to pass without reelstsnre;
that Is. the more nearly the absolute
purity and absolute cold are reached the
less the observed and measured resistance
to flow of electricity.

It Is not known at present if radium can
